Making a difference in Georgia's Re-entry
TYRO began working in Georgia with the help of the Non-Profit Organization, City of Refuge. Their VP of Reentry, Greg Washington, began facilitating our adult and juvenile TYRO programs in their community in 2017. Soon after, Washington expanded his efforts to reach TYRO in Metros prison as well as several other community-based initiatives.
Presently, Greg Washington is now an ambassador of TYRO, creating a lasting impact in the Greater Atlanta Community. Beyond Atlanta, TYRO is training peer-facilitators in several prisons including Macon State and Dulle, further increasing the impact TYRO is having in the state of Georgia.
Solutions
- Peer-facilitators in three prisons
- Two community-based partners that facilitate adult facilities and in Youth detention centers
- In-person led programming
Here is a short testimonial from TYRO Ernest Nixon in Georgia.
Mr. Ernest Nixon graduated from the September 2018 TYRO Dads Cohort, facilitated at the Georgia Department of Corrections Metro Reentry Facility. Immediately following his release from Metro, Mr. Nixon obtained a full-time position as a barber. He’s in the process of studying to become a Master Barber and open his barbershop. Please see the attached photo and video of Mr. Nixon’s journey, from Atlanta to Miami, to reunite with his children (and attend his eldest daughter’s graduation from nursing school).
